In Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas held this Tuesday by the Philippine Information Agency Calabarzon, Carlos Eduardo Alvarez, the Regional Director of the Office of Civil Defense (OCD) Calabarzon, was the guest. During the event, OCD 4A presented their plans, programs, and accomplishments.
Regarding the recent deliberation by the Senate Committee on National Defense and Security, Peace and Unification on the proposed Magna Carta for Public DRRM Workers and the declaration of a state of imminent disaster, OCD expressed optimism about the bill’s potential passage for the benefit of rescuers involved in various calamities.
According to Alvarez, the proposed bill focuses on government employees. Meanwhile, rescue volunteers can be insured if they are accredited by local government units (LGUs) and submit a resolution to obtain group insurance. The responsibility for insuring volunteers lies with the LGUs.
